Typical german beer house. Noisy, wholesome food, and beer.. Service can be slow, but fun locationread more

Spent 21 days in Brazil and I found them the first day and walked 3 kilometers to try it. Loved it…read moreand ate there 12 days of my trip. The food was just like being home in Germany. Marcial the waiter spoke perfect English and helped me go through the menu to try things and everything was absolutely perfect. Pretzels cooked to order, never a stale or cold one. Weiss wurst was fresh and peeled as it was supposed to. Perfectly. The staff was warm and greeting. Outdoor seating was plentiful and comfy. Marcial even had my table reserved each night so i could sit and people watch during dinner. If you get to this city, make sure you stop by and visit them, you wont be sorry. Tell them Thomas from the states sent you and you may get a nice surprise.

This is probably the nicest restaurant in Shopping Cidade. One floor higher than the praça da…read morealimentação (food court), and opposite the cinema, Almanaque has indoor and 'outdoor' seating, some great options for a Brazilian bite, and a good collection of drinks including cocktails and craft beers. We visited on a Monday evening when it was nice and quiet; may be different on other days/times. Service was ok. The feijão tropeiro was really delicious, with excellent pork and quality ingredients (and cheap too). We'd return just for this! Yum!!

New place in town for specialty beers. They have about 12 beers on tap ranging from pilsners to…read morewheat beers to IPA; they didn't have any porters or stout (6 different IPAs and double IPAs on the other hand). There is no table service for ordering; instead you have to walk up to the counter. They serve small tasters, which is nice. Prices range from R12 to 20 for 500ml, served in plastic cups. Burgers are quite cheap and come out super quick (they are brought to the table). They have interesting names and some unusual ingredients. Unfortunately they're not all that special. Buns look and taste like fast-food style.

Yelp is dead in BH. This is one of the best bars we've encountered here but after 2 yrs I'm the…read morefirst to review it? Sad! Both bar and brewery Cervejeria Viela attracts a slightly hipster crowd (no fixies, sadly). They serve craft beers from their own making and "guests". There's usually about 6 on tap, for very good prices (5 small, 7 big)

This café/bar is a convenient and pretty comfortable hangout in the main terminal of Confins -…read morelocated between Gol and Tam/Azul check-in counters. Its open and airy. You can get food, snacks and a variety of drinks. Service is friendly but not necessarily super efficient. Bäcker is a well-known micro-brewery in Minas Gerais. I've had a couple of their beers. The Bravo is a pretty decent porter. Nice and chocolate-y if you're into that kind of thing; a bit sweet if you're not. The IPA is US style; great hoppy taste, again if you're into that. If you're not, probably better to stick to the Pilsen. Of course, in true Brasil-style you have to first pay for your order at a 'caixa' off to the side of the main bar. You then take your receipt to the bar to hand it to the staff who makes sure it gets to your table. I once got some old and pretty hard pão de queijo; I complained and immediately got a newer batch. (Although nice of them they shouldn't have served the old stuff to start with!)
